A slight Mistake.

Paul Mccormick was one of the pas
sengers on the belated west bound
train that reached here last night, four
days out from st. Paul. Misery loves
company and likewise makes strong
bed fellows the latter allrsion. how.
ever, being made in a purely allegor-
zeal sense and it so happened that the
travellers on this snow train became
thar usually communicative.
Among them was a Mrs. Packard, q
rowing disciple Of woman.s rights,
and other heresies, who improved the
occasion to give her fellow travellers
the benefit of her views and issues.
Everyone who knows Paul 10 aware
that when he frequeuts the haunts of
civilization. his attire is faultless
though subdued and that both In dress
and demeanor. he might easily be mis-
taken for divine. This mistake the
excellent Mrs. Packard made, and
when in the course OF her dis
c%ussion, she felt herself crowd
ed into q corner by the ~irrevent
mob, she naturally appealed to Paul
for assistance, saying, "Mr. McCor.
mick, from your dress and manners
III take you to be a minister of the
gospel" experimenting this with
reference to him Of the point under
discussion. For once Paul was taken
completely absck, and after assuring
the lady that ION the contrary he was
quite the reverse" he beat a hssty re-
treat to the dining car. blushing to
the eyebrows. He will hereafter dis
card the clerical garb and adopt some
thing louder and more pronounced.

An Unused Volume.

The most beautiful volume among
the 10000 in the neressonal library
at Washington is Bible which was
transcribed BIZ monk in the sixteenth
century. 1t could not be matched to-
day in the best printing-ofiice in the
world. The parchment is in perfect
preservation. Every one of its 1000
pages is Il study. The general lettering
in in German text. each letter perfect
and every one of them in coal-btick
ink. without a scratch or IL blot from
lid to lid At the beginning OF each
chapter the first letter is very large,
usually two or three inches long, and
is brightly Illuminated in blue or reo
ink. Within each of these capitals there
is drawn the figure of some saint, OF
some incident of which the following
chapter tells is illustrated. There are
two columns on page. and nowhere Is
traceable the slightest irregularity OF
line. space or formation of the letters.
Even under a magnifving glass they
seem tlawlcsS.
The precious volume is kept under
a GLASS case. which is sometimes lifted
to show that the pages are as perfect
as the two which lie open. A
legend relates that Young man who
had sinned deeply became monk and
resolved to do penance for his misdeeds.
He determined to copy the Bible, that
he might learn every letter of the di-
vine commands which he had violated.
Every day for many years he patiently
pursued his task. Each letter was
wrought with reverence and love: and
the penitent soul found its only COM
panionship in the sanity faces which
were portrayed on those pages
When the last touch was given to the
last letter the old man reverently kiss
ed the page and folded the sheets to-
cethcr. Soon afterward he died.
